John Ford’s “The Long Voyage Home” was adapted from four Eugene O’Neill
one-act plays (“The Moon of the Caribees,” “In The Zone,” “Bound East
for Cardiff” and “The Long Voyage Home”) by Dudley Nicholls. Nicholls
also directed a film adaptation of O’Neill’s “Mourning Becomes
Electra,” in 1947. Superficially, the film is the story of the crew of
the British freighter, “The Glencairn”, shortly after the start of
World War II. However, “The Long Voyage Home” is less a story film,
than a visual tone poem of men escaping the realities of life on land,
through an addiction to life at sea.

Slick young literary editor, Jeremy (Jackson) is given the seemingly
impossible task of convincing retired literary giant Weldon Parish
(Keitel) to write another novel. Parish hasn’t written in twenty years
and lives a reclusive life with his daughters in the beautiful Tuscan
countryside. Sent to track down Parish by his boss Mr. Benton
(Rhys-Davies), Jeremy finds Parish an ornery, protective sort with a
prankish sense of humor. Initially incurring Parish’s ire with his
slick, businessman’s approach, Jeremy begins a long process to win
Parish’s trust, and in the result finds in him an encouraging mentor on
life as well as writing. As Jeremy begins to unlock his own repressed
writer’s ...

If
your knowledge of “Little House on the Prairie” is only derived from
that Michael Landon-produced TV program in the ‘70s, this recent Disney
miniseries may come as a revelation to you. Unlike the popular TV show
of the same name, this production adheres more closely to writer Laura
Ingalls Wilder’s original nineteenth-century stories. Whereas Landon
created new adventures for the characters, ones not first found in the
books, this work only presents what was described on the written page.
